【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、通路設備に係り、特に、建築構造物の上下階を結ぶ階段の近傍に、上下階を結ぶ補助通路として乗客コンベアを設置するに好適な通路設備に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
建築構造物の歩行者通路である既設の階段近傍に、建屋の上下階を結ぶ補助通路としてエスカレータや電動道路などの乗客コンベアを設置することが行なわれている。例えば、特開平7−189449号公報に記載されているように、既設の階段に平行して、補助通路として乗客コンベアを設置したものが提案されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来技術は、既設の階段に乗客コンベアを併設した場合、付帯工事および正味工事期間中に階段が閉鎖されたり、乗客コンベア設置後において階段の幅が減少して歩行者の流動性が低下することについて十分配慮されていない。
【0004】
すなわち、既設の階段に乗客コンベアを併設する場合、乗客コンベアの乗降床位置を上下階路面と一致させるために、土木および建築分野の付帯工事を必要とするとともに、これに加えて乗客コンベア設置の正味工事を必要とし、付帯工事および正味工事期間中階段を閉鎖することが余儀なくされる。しかも、建屋の構造によっては乗客コンベアを設置したあと階段の幅を縮小することが余儀なくされる。
【0005】
本発明の目的は、既存の階段にエスカレータを併設する場合に、歩行者の通行の邪魔になるような不便を低減することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、本発明は、建築構造物の上階路面と駅舎のプラットホームである下階路面とを結ぶ階段の長手方向の延長線上の領域であって、階段全体の上方領域を避けた領域に、階路面と階路面とを結ぶ通路として踏み段が傾斜面に沿って自動的に昇降または下降する乗客コンベア(エスカレータ)段の長手方向に沿って設置してなる通路設備を構成することを基本とする。
【0007】
この場合において、以下の要素を適宜組み合わせて付加することが望ましい
【0008】
(1)前記乗客コンベアの上部側を前記下階路面に立設された支柱で支持するとともに、前記乗客コンベアの上部側と前記上階路面とを連絡通路を介して連結してなる。
【0009】
(2)前記乗客コンベアの下部水平部を前記下階路面に連結し、前記乗客コンベアの上部側を前記下階路面に立設された支柱で支持するとともに、前記乗客コンベアの上部水平部と前記上階路面とを連絡通路を介して連結してなる。
【0010】
(3)前記連絡通路は、前記階段の上部側の領域を避けた領域に配置しなる。
【0011】
(4)前記乗客コンベアの上部水平部は前記上階路面と交差する位置に配置されてなる。
【0012】
前記した手段によれば、階段の長手方向の延長線を含む領域に、乗客コンベアを階段の長手方向に沿って設置したため、階段を閉鎖することなく、乗客コンベアの付帯工事および正味工事を行なうことができ、階段閉鎖に伴う歩行者の不便を回避できる。さらに、乗客コンベアの設置による階段幅の減少を皆無にすることができ、歩行者の流動性の低下を防止することができる。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。図1は本発明の一実施形態を示す側面図、図2は図1の平面図である。図1および図2において、建築構造物としての駅舎10には、駅舎10の上下階を結ぶ階段12が設置されている。この階段12はプラットホームとなる下階路面14と橋上通路となる上階路面16とを結ぶ通路として、その長手方向が列車線路18と平行となるように設置されている。この階段12の側面側には下階路面14から上階路面16にわたって側壁20が配設されている。そして上階路面16に接続された改札口や乗換え口を利用する歩行者は階段12を上り下りすることで列車(電車)に乗ることができる。
【0014】
ここで、階段12の近傍に、駅舎10の上下階を結ぶ通路を設置するに際して、本実施形態では、階段12の長手方向の延長線を含む領域に、乗客コンベア22を階段12の長手方向に沿って設置することとしている。この乗客コンベア22は、例えば、踏み段が傾斜面に沿って自動的に昇降または下降するエスカレータで構成されている。この乗客コンベア22は、下部水平部(図示省略)、傾斜部22a、上部水平部22bが一体となって形成されている。下部水平部は下階路面14と同一平面を形成するように下階路面14に埋め込まれており、上部水平部22bは上階路面16と同じ高さ位置でかつ上階路面16と直交する向きに配置され、上部水平部22bの底部側は、下階路面14に立設された支柱24によって強固に支持されている。なお、支柱24は階段12の最下段から離れた位置、すなわち歩行者の通行に邪魔にならない位置に設置されている。
【0015】
そして、乗客コンベア22の上部側乗降床となる上部水平部22bから上階路面16にかけては、上部水平部22bと上階路面16とを結ぶ連結通路26が形成されている。この連絡通路26は、断面がU字状の通路として、道幅W1の連結路面28を構成する板材と側壁36を形成する板材とが一体となって構成され、中央部が矩形形状に折曲されている。連結路面28の端部28aは上部水平部22bとともに支柱24によって強固に支持されており、連結路面28の端部28bは階段12の最上階に隣接して上階路面16と同一平面を形成するように配置され、上階路面16を構成する構造体によって強固に支持されて固定されている。さらに、連絡通路16の中央部を折曲するに際しては、階段12の上部側の領域を避けた領域に連結路面28を配置するように、すなわち階段12の上部側と連絡通路26とが重合しないように、連結路面28の中央部には位置ずれ路面28cが形成されている。このように、連絡通路26は、階段12を利用する歩行者の頭上障害物にならないように、連結路面28の形状と位置が設定されている。
【0016】
本実施形態においては、既設の階段12の近傍のうち階段12の長手方向の延長線を含む領域に乗客コンベア22を設置し、乗客コンベア22と上階路面16とを連絡通路26を介して接続するようにしたため、階段12を閉鎖することなく乗客コンベア22と連絡通路26を設置することができ、階段12の閉鎖に伴う歩行者の不便を回避することができるとともに、乗客コンベア22の設置によって階段12の幅が減少するのを皆無にすることができる。さらに、乗客コンベア22と連絡通路26が設置された後は、構内歩行者は、下階路面14から乗客コンベア22、連絡通路26を経由して上階路面16を矢印XおよびYのように往来することができる。
【0017】
また、連絡通路26に側壁30、32を設けるとともに階段12に側壁20を設けることで歩行者を保護することができる。
【0018】
また、前記実施形態においては、連絡通路26の中央部に位置ずれ路面28cを設けたものについて述べたが、位置ずれ路面28cを設ける代わりに、連絡通路として、図2の想像線Zのように、道幅W2をもって列車線路18を跨いで上階路面16と交わる傾斜面を形成する連絡通路を設けることもできる。
【0019】
さらに、図1の想像線Pで示すように、必要に応じて連結路面28と上階路面16を補強支持する支柱を追加することもできる。
【0020】
また、本実施形態においては、乗客コンベア22と連絡通路26を支柱24で支持するようにしたため、支柱24は下階路面14において大きな障害物とはならず、かつ構築費も安価なものとすることもできる。
【0021】
また、前記実施形態においては、乗客コンベア22の上部水平部22bを、連絡通路26を介して上階路面16に連結するものについて述べたが、建屋の構造によっては、乗客コンベア22の上部水平部22b側を建屋の上階路面に直接連結することも可能である。
【0022】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、階段の長手方向の延長線を含む領域に、乗客コンベアを階段の長手方向に沿って設置したため、階段を閉鎖することなく、乗客コンベアの付帯工事および正味工事を行なうことができ、階段閉鎖に伴う歩行者の不便を回避できる。さらに、乗客コンベアの設置による階段幅の減少を皆無にすることができ、歩行者の流動性の低下を防止することができる。
